Tikkun olam (from the Hebrew: תיקון עולם‎) means “repairing the world”, “healing the world”. This concept originated in the early rabbinic period, when was seen mainly as G*d repairing the world from evil. The concept evolved over time: it was given new meanings in the kabbalah of the medieval period and in modern Judaism, been seen more and more as social activism and personal development (cultivated to lead by example towards a better world). Currently, wise people are seeing contributing to tikkun olam, and not only being spectators of the Divine actions.
